Look at my perfect life

Look at my perfect life:

‍

Look at my perfect life.

‍

The amazing life I present to the world.

‍

Only posting when I travel.

‍

Only posting when I’m doing fun things.

‍

Only posting when I wanna show people how cool my life is.

‍

We all do it.

‍

Making our life seem better than it is.

‍

Let’s be honest.

‍

Most of our days are boring.

‍

Monotonous.

‍

The same.

‍

We don’t have that much excitement in our life.

‍

Is that by design or by choice?

‍

Both.

‍

Guess what?

‍

You have the ability to do new things.

‍

To try something that’s hard.

‍

That’s outside of your comfort zone.

‍

You have that choice every day.

‍

It may not seem like it.

‍

But it’s there.

‍

How do we challenge ourselves?

‍

How do we get out of our comfort zones?

‍

How do we get out of our routine?

‍

Small steps.

‍

Go to a new place. 

‍

Try a new food.

‍

Visit a new part of town.

‍

Try a new class.

‍

Whatever it is, try something new.

‍

Something different.

‍

Something fun.

‍

Something you’ve always wanted to try.

‍

Stick with it for a little while.

‍

See where it goes.

‍

You may love it, you may not.

‍

No stress.

‍

Figure out what you love.

‍

And what you don’t.

‍

Do more of the first.

‍

Less of the second.

‍

Easy right?

‍

Nope.

‍

It’ll take years.

‍

Decades.

‍

Maybe even your whole life.

‍

But it’s worth the effort.

‍

It’s worth the attempt. 

‍

Kevin Kelly said it in a recent interview.

‍

Tim Ferris asked him ‘what’s the goal of life?’

‍

His answer was ‘Your goal in life is to be able to say on the day before you die that you have fully become yourself.’

‍

I think about that a lot.

‍

How do we find who we truly are?

‍

I don’t know.

‍

I do know it’s worth trying a bunch of stuff and see what you enjoy.

‍

Block out the noise.

‍

Focus on what you like.

‍

Do that for a long time.

‍

Build trust.

‍

Build relationships.

‍

And voila, you’ll be there.

‍

Even then, you have to find what there even means.

‍

Find what makes you happy but know that it’s always a journey.

‍

Life is never perfect. 

‍

Don’t expect it to be.
